Repaint

[bladespark]

I don't feel comfortable showing him off on the Windstone forums just now, given the recent explosion of drama over repaints, so I'll just show off here.


First, the most accurate-color-wise:


Then a pair with flash to show detail:



And one really dark, which is also how he looks in the display cabinet really, because it's not lit.


Wierdly enough I like the photos here better than I like him in person. In person he's much more "pearl" looking, and for some reason the flash doesn't pick up the pearl effect at all. (Didn't on my gothic PYO unicorn either.) I regretted the pearl as soon as I did it, it's not awful or anything, it just takes away a bit from the intensity of the various blues.



He's for sale, make an offer. As always, if I decide the offers aren't high enough, I'll just keep him, he's pretty spiffy.

oh...I missed the drama! What happened?

Purplecat, that was doing the airbrush repaints that everybody wanted to buy, got a cease and desist letter from John. (She didn't say, but I know he'd contacted her once before about a specific dragon, so I suspect she'd been asked nicely to stop, and refused.) Anyhow, a lot of people were getting very mad at Windstone for making her stop doing repaints. I just kind of rolled my eyes at it. She was doing things that looked exactly like factory test paints, their only difference from stuff Melody did herself was they used different colors mostly. Not even that always, as she'd done one that looked exactly like violet flame, though by accident not on purpose. She can still paint PYOs, so it's not like she's forbidden to ever make art again.

But anyhow, with everybody flinging around arguments about repainting, I figured now's not the time to share this guy.
